NSW Rural Fire Service Control Centre

The NSW Rural Fire Service is the world's largest fire service with 70,000 volunteer members providing emergency services to over 95% of NSW. At the district or local government level, Fire Control Officers are appointed to manage the day-to-day affairs of brigades.
In some areas, neighbouring rural fire districts have agreed to pool resources, joining together to form more efficient zones.
